Deep Cover

“Is that Deep Cover? This is– I paid to see this in a movie theater by myself. And I had such a good ass time, man. Like, come on, who directed this? Bill Duke, right? Yes. Actors make great directors, kids. You know why? Because they sit behind *censored* a zillion directors over the course of a career. So when it becomes their time to step up to the plate, oh, they can knock it out the park. Bill Duke did that with Deep Cover.”

“Bill Duke's Deep Cover. Love this movie. Most people know that this film is most known because it was the first appearance of a song featuring Snoop Dogg. The Deep Cover soundtrack is really famous, but I just love this film. Laurence Fishburne and Jeff Goldblum. Laurence Fishburne is a cop who goes undercover and Jeff Goldblum as a lawyer slash sleazy drug dealer. This was just a really great crime noir film that I'm super excited to see added to the collection.”

“Deep Cover, now this was a movie that was very influential to me. I love Fishburne in this movie, I love his Performance. He's so commanding and spare and charismatic as this guy. It's a real movie star Performance and there's some elements in here that I actually stole from for Love Jones. The sort of toast poetry, kind of like Iceberg Slim kind of toast poetry in the voiceover of this movie, I nicked a little bit of that.”
